Mercy's Kennel is a story about redemption and salvation that transcends race, culture and economics to present a compelling look at the challenges facing pit bulls and people living in an increasingly hostile world. We shot the feature documentary with the cooperation of DeKalb and Gwinnett County Animal Services, The Humane Society of the United States, LifeLine Animal Project, and several independent animal welfare organizations and advocacy groups throughout Atlanta, GA.

Our shelter hours are extended until 8pm tonight as we work to find homes for the 11 dogs scheduled for euthanasia. We haven’t had many visitors this afternoon, and we’re hoping adopters or fosters will come provide homes for the dogs seen here. Please visit us as soon as you can at 3280 Chamblee Dunwoody Road.

No dogs were saved from DeKalb County Animal Services yesterday.

Only 2 of the 29 dogs on the urgent list at Fulton County Animal Services made it out. Let’s not let today end like yesterday.

That means 40 dogs are still in immediate need of help today.

Each one is waiting for a foster, adopter, or rescue.

Behind every number is a face, a heartbeat, and a story that deserves more than a kennel run. You can be the reason one of these dogs gets a second chance.

Foster: Even short-term fosters save lives by giving dogs time they wouldn’t have otherwise.

Adopt: When you adopt, you open space for another life to be saved.

Share: You never know who your post might reach.

Come by our Fulton or DeKalb shelters today.

Greetings HoodPuppies!

We swore we were done. It just goes to show; never say never. We decided to enter into this film festival after someone shared a message of encouragement with me earlier this evening. We made Mercy's Kennel for a damned good reason, and it's long overdue. Several of us didn't make it this far, but we can all live forever in our film. We hope y'all get a chance to see Mercy's Kennel in The ATL, where it belongs ... on the big screen. More to come. Woof!!!

As some of you know, but most of you don’t, HoodPuppy has taken up residence in South Georgia. You might think that changes a lot regarding Mercy’s Kennel and its message, but no. Moving out of As some of you know, but most of you don’t, HoodPuppy has taken up residence in South Georgia. You might think that changes a lot regarding Mercy’s Kennel and its message, but no. Moving out of the big city changed nothing.

The other day, I saw 3 kids on bikes with a brindle pitty puppy out next to the road. I asked if he was theirs because he had no collar. One turned to me and said, “don’t worry about him, he’s mine, but I’ll sell you this little mother……. Today, I see this. Here we are 15 years since we started our journey, and our grungy little film is as relevant today as it was when we began. We are still seeking distribution. Who can help us?

Our Story

G.K. Simpson is a former dog breeder who takes viewers into a world where money talks, pit bulls are the currency and media perpetuate many of the stereotypes maligning this misunderstood breed. Mercy's Kennel explores the socio-economic backdrop to what is commonly called "backyard breeding" to show how poverty and lack of education are at the root of pet overpopulation and animal abuse in many underserved areas around the country. We are currently seeking distribution and contributions from our fans to help facilitate that. If you would like to join the HoodPuppy team and help us reach our goal, please consider visiting our GoFundMe page and making a donation - gofundme.com/mercyskennel.
